No, I don't. It's first time to try some recipe with fruits, cream and sweet flavours. I saw a lot of recipes that included more than 4 flavours from different companies but I don't need to by a lot. That's why need some simple recipes with flavours in my stash. Heard about those that u mentioned in your post and will get may be Etil Maltol, Cotton candy and Bavarian cream. Until now I tried 3-4 recipes with flavours mo more than 4 and finally turn back to single, like Shade, Virginia, Old havana, Maxx blend, Black fire and Black Cherry ...all FA. I think I follow tobacco man way...first looking for tobacco flavor, after that fruits and sweet, than unflavored base and....again. lol

    Hi all! Suggest me some simple recipe with my flavours in my stash:
    Cookie FA
    DK Banana cream TPA
    Sweet Strawberry CAP
    Green Apple La vape
    Mango FA
    Peach FA
    Caramel delight HCL
    Black Cherry FA
    Coconut INW
    Hazelnut LaVape
    Strawberry milkshake
    I like no more than 2-3 flavours in recipe and I'm MTL vape man.

    How about a fruit mix? Say about 4% each of mango, peach, and strawberry. One thing I did early on when I started mixing was to order just about every kind of vanilla I could find and like JC said, I'd get some cotton candy(EM) and sweetener.

    I am just guessing here, might need better advice, but -
    Maybe Strawberry Milkshake @ 6% and Banana Cream @ 4%
    or, Green Apple @ 6% and Caramel Delight @ 3%
    Just a starting point, adjust as needed. I think you should consider JCinFLA's advice and add Sweetener and EM to you repertoire.
    just my :2c:

    I got my order from real flavors yesterday. I mixed a sample of the yogurt parfait last night and dripped a little before loading a tank with it. I did 3% and it's pretty good. I'm going to mix another bottle and let it steep a while. I'm usually a shake and vape person. I have little patience for steeping. I had to try it today. Letting it sit overnight was an accomplishment for me.

    they def benefit from steeping, and a little breathing, to let the alcohol evaporate. I tested my rf sc sugar cub today that I mixed up late last night, and breathed for 2 hours this morning, and it was pretty tasty but I know it will be a lot better in 3 or 4 weeks.

    3-4 weeks. Holy cow! I better mix up some 30ml bottles to put away in the cabinet.
    mix bigger :p

    I do 20ml testers* and everything else gets mixed at 100 - 220 ML. Everything I am vaping right now from bigger batches was mixed October - December of last year. I haven't tallied up the steep cabinet lately but I am fairly certain I still have over 2 liters of mixed juice.

    *When I have a lot to test (like now) I mix 6 or 7 testers at a time then after 4 or 5 weeks they get combined into a 120 ml bottle to be vaped on later as a franken-tester recipe/batch.

    I just did a 100DT to see if I liked it at first and then did a 10ml to steep. I better go down stairs to see what bigger bottles I have left that aren't storing 100mg nic.
    I wouldn't worry about it,Hitt. Just mix 2 bottles and put one away to steep. I never make big mixes of stuff I don't even know if I like.

    Do you always use the 100 drop rest? I actually haven't tried it yet even though its been suggested several times to me. Is there any advantages to using the 100 drop test other than not wasting ingredients?

    The 100 drop test is a quick and easy way to check the flavor profile of a recipe. It uses little ingredients or effort, and can be shake-and-vape. I have used the 100 drop test in the past, but now I just mix 10ml bottles and let them sit for two weeks.
    And if I like it, then I mix 30 ml bottles, and if I still like it it's up to 100ml bottles. But you should always have some test method first before mixing large quantities of something you may not like.

    @VapeLuvr - Another advantage of doing it = It's while doing the 100DT that you "tweak" that tiny amount to suit your own personal tastes. If you take notes of any/all changes you make as you do it, (which is highly recommended)...when you make a bigger batch using your altered recipe, it will taste just like the small 100DT amount you made.

    I tried the other three that I mixed up yesterday from RF. The strawberry lemonade is quite good already but I think it could be better with some steeping. The regular lemonade definitely needs to steep. I can barely taste it at all. The lemon cake needs to steep also. It just tastes sweet with almost no hint of lemon or cake. The yogurt parfait and strawberry lemonade are usable right away though.

    The lemon in the lemonade will come out after a few days. I had the same reaction you had to it "where is the lemon?" Put it away and tried it a week or so later and it was almost overpowering. I mixed at 3.5% so am thinking next time, maybe will drop it to 2% and see how that does.

    I want a strong lemonade flavor. I mixed mine at 3%. Thanks for the info Vicman. I was hoping it wouldn't be a bust. I have been using a lemonade recipe with the FW lemonade but was thinking it would be nice to mix one flavor instead of four or five. I'm going to make a bigger bottle tonight and let it steep.

    In all truth, the flavor profile of the lemonade I got was more of a pledge-like taste, not so much a lemonade flavor. With that said, I have bad luck when it comes to lemon flavors. Not a big fan of them but have been looking for a lemonade flavor I tried when I was new to vaping which I really liked. For the life of me I can't remember who made it though. I have tried about 3 different lemons (OSDIY (Pink Lemonade), RF, and TFA) and they all have had a weird aftertaste to me so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Just think it is a flavor which won't work with my taste buds.

    Here's the one I got from the dropbox in the TFA thread and have really been enjoying for some time. The original says 10% EM but I cut it down to 8% and I use tfa sweet and tart instead of tart and sour.

    Lemonade

    FlavorWest Lemonade 14%
    Cotton Candy 10%
    Honey 1%
    Tart and Sour 5%

    So here's what mine looks like

    Lemonade

    FlavorWest Lemonade 14%
    Cotton Candy(TFA) 8%
    Honey(TFA) 1%
    Sweet and tart(TFA) 5%
